[HTC Sensation] sbihue:
My phone is rooted (s-off) with all bloatware removed. Its still on stock ROM though.

Since we have S-OFF now, the custom ROM's for sensation have started to flow. Just waiting on those ROM's to be stable before deciding on which one to use.

BTW which ROM are you using!!!
[HTC Sensation] bobsbbq:
Changing the back cover will make no difference. I got a replacement and saw no difference at all.
[HTC Sensation] reaperofwaywardsouls:
When I would go into landscape I would lose 1-2 wifi bars, but after I flashed Android Revolution 1.1.6 and kept the stock radio I started only losing 1 bar if any at all.
[HTC Sensation] jjcobm:
I am using:

InsertCoin Sense Android 2.3.4 STABLE 1.2

I have tried them all. This one is by far the best for everyday use.

Everyone complaining about death grip. It's there on all phones, it will go away with a root and custom ROM.
[HTC Sensation] pwasad1:
I haven't experienced this at all. compared to my buddies iphone 4 where there is a serious death grip problem any drop in signal on my sensation is moot.
[HTC Sensation] chisleu:
I've heard that it does, but I'm still waiting on mine to arrive. We have FAR FAR lower signal strength with this phone than with our other phones (motorola cliq / mytouch 4g's)

I just checked and I'm on zero bars right now. I usually have 4 bars right here with my other phone. It's rediculous. Holding the phone reduces my signal strength by ~40-50%. It can completely lose signal, right under a tower (in visual range) if you hold your hand flat against the back.

For many people, this is not the case. I know there are different revisions for the back cover. I think it is due to that.

Glad this is the case for you. It is not for me.
[HTC Sensation] madrascafe:
Did your wifi situation improve after u got the new cover? my device sucks.. it drops all the way down to zero.. thinking of getting the g2x instead
[HTC Sensation] Dust2Dust:
Signal is good when phone is turned to 2G only, so this appears to be a firmw-/software issue rather than a battery-cover issue.
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
I had the same problem when i first recieved the devie but as you say custom rom sorted that :D
[HTC Sensation] Groundzero87:
Hell can someone make a video how to see the wifi signal strengh on original rom and on custom rom because I had a HTC Sensation but the bad wifi signal in landscape mode.

Now I would like to buy a new one, but only if the wifi signal is better.

Sorry for my bad english
[HTC Sensation] antoniolopez90:
Custom rom was no help...

I have loaded various custom roms and while it was less on others it is still possible to kill WiFi. It had been becoming annoying as it would disconnect online play games...

would definatly like to hear if anyone else got a replacement back cover from HTC and if it helped?
[HTC Sensation] Nonsensical86:
the death grip issue on mine has gradually improved after i flashed the custom rom. will htc replace us with a new cover?
[HTC Sensation] kwaneowong:
I am using Bell htc Sensation on Rogers. The death grip issue on mine varies depends on the distance i am from the router.

if i am 5m away from the router, wifi signal drops significantly but the 3G signal remain strong no matter how I tried to cover up the antenna. If i am 1m away from the router, wifi signal doesn't drop at all and 3G remains the same.

But it's not really an issue for me cause i almost never hold my phone with 2 hands like those did in death grip vids

EDIT: my phone is not rooted
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
I wouldnt say I have a death grip issue myself. Ok if I really cover a lot of the phone with my big hands it might lose 1 signal bar of 3G signal or 1 bar of wifi signal, but I would say my Desire did exactly the same, and I'm talking extreme covering of the phones casing, not how I would hold the phone normally. I have noticed wifi signal drop from full to 1 bar less when turning in landscape occasionally, but Ive never lost the signal or considered it anything to worry about. Thats my experience anyway.

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] corsasri:
my signal bar is at half all the time. at vodafone hq no bars atall
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s00paSold3r:
I have loaded this radio then I booted into recovery and tried to install Das BAMF Sense 3.0 RC4.9 from zip and the download starts then about halfway though it goes back to the bootloader screen with the android guys skateboarding. It has fastboot highlighted with the only options being bootloader,reboot,reboot bootloader, and power down. I have tried to reboot, boot back into recovery and restore but it keeps going back to this screen...any idea's??
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrs421:
Well, if you can get into the bootloader you are not bricked. Go to Jcase's stock recovery thread and get the rooted stock PG5... to load in hboot. It will essentially get you back to rooted Froyo and then you can reflash the recovery and whatever rom you want.

Or I believe you can rename a ROM to PG5... and flash it in recovery as well, although I've never tried that method.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] You.:
I've never heard of anyone flashing a rom through hboot by renaming it to pg05img or whatever it is. I wouldn't try that without evidence of out working
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrs421:
I have. I've just never tried it. It's not something I've ever had to do.

I still would advise caution though.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcdesirezgeorge:
I've tried it and it works! Be careful, I would recommend using the stock rooted PC05img that was in the first post, it usually works, you just have to noodle with the 4g settings after.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s00paSold3r:
thanks guys, I am a happy camper. I am loading the stock rom as we speak....Man I lost sleep and could not work.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrs421:
I knew I wasn't nuts, lol. Back when I had the Inspire it was a pretty common thing.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcdesirezgeorge:
P.S. @ sOOpasold3r, if you want to wait until about 10pm EST, I can send you the exact radio that will work and it will bring everything in to working order for you.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrs421:
Good luck. Rooted stock usually does the trick. Just be sure to name it correctly. I always screw that part up, lol.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s00paSold3r:
sure here's my email address chrisespinoza05@gmail.com
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s00paSold3r:
I got the stock rom loaded back up.. now I need to reflash CWM
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrs421:
Good! Yes, I would reflash cwm. Also redownload the rom you want to flash and verify the md5.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcdesirezgeorge:
ok chris, I think I have the MR2 Radio on my phone's SD card, if I do, I'll email it earlier.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crstfr:

Is anyone else having issues with the notification icons changing from blue to white? Just randomly on its own.

Sent from my amazazing Droid X2
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Easy answer, if you are connected to the 3g or a wireless network it is blue, if you lose data signal it is white
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
I'm talking about the whole icon. It turns into the Froyo icons. Im not tlking about the animation.

Sent from my amazazing Droid X2
[Motorola Droid X2] myriad46:
When you say notification icons, do you mean notifications that pop up like email or are you talking about signal strength, Wi-Fi, etc? In gingerbread, those icons change color based on whether your phone has a connection to google. In the DX2 they turn blue from white when you are connected. If you were stock android they would turn green. Watch when you first boot up.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
Well the signal and wifi was wat im tlkin bout.. Makes sense wat you're sayin tho bout connected to.google cause it jus does it on the initial animation.. ie wen going from no signal to signal. Thnx

I'm stuck on the Samsung Logo after selecting the clockworking recovery backup, and i now how to fix the problem with a computer and odin, but unfortunately for me, i did it at work, and i really need my phone.

Is there anyway to switch to a recovery screen and get past this?

Clockworkmod really effed me over.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
The clockworkmod backups DO NOT WORK. Sorry to say it, but your phone is toast until you reflash it.

[Verizon Droid Charge] hillstead22:
Yeah, unfortunately hindsight is 20/20, but no recovery i guess
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
You can't borrow anyones pc? Hell you might be able to go to a computer store and flash on that.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hillstead22:
Hmmm, do i have to have odin on the machine in order to flash it? I can't install anything on these machines...
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Odin is a standalone program, you don't have to install anything. Just download and run.

Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyFroyo 1.9.1
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
Yea you can even download all the files to a flash drive so you font have to redownload them. The only programs you might have to install are 7zip or winrar to decompress the rom and the sammy drivers. The rest don't need to be installed
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
The only thing you need to install to be able to flash are the drivers.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JazLiew:
What if my device doesn't show the Update confirmation after the checking has finished? It just jumps straight back to the bootloader menu.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Sup123101:
It's probably a problem with your Gold Card, Double Check you've done everything in that section correctly
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] colonel_elwood:
Many thanks for the guide. I don't need to S-off though the phone functionality would be nice. But steps one and two were perfect for me to change my south east Asian ROM (Indonesia according to HTC) to the latest WWE. Goldcard didn't work but a full formatted SD card did the job.

Thanks for helping feed the need for the latest stock ROM!

HBOOT

I'm still having problem upgrading Hboot from 1.07.0000 to 1.10.0000.

Attached is a screenshot of my fastboot. any ideas?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] csasek:
not sure if i was in the same boat as others here. I have an S-Off Flyer with the 1.07 HBOOT and I wanted to do the Honeycomb update so I needed to update the HBOOT. Instead of doing this procedure I ran an RUU update (I chose a Chinese version) and it updated the HBOOT though it re-locked my device. Next I ran Revolutionary and followed the rest of the HC instructions on Modaco.

I am now running Honeycomb :)

I've done the Gold Card process before and though it worked I remember it being a bit of a headache. This might be easier for others in my situation.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] h11g:
yes im using the goldcard methoad now and i failed to upgrade the hboot, do you mind telling me where did you get the chinese RUU? or can i just run RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed?

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

Nvm, found the solution by running RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.08 9BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed directly, and my phone hboot upgraded to 1.10.0000

Now s-off and gain root. =)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] csasek:
I only used the Chinese RUU because it was handy. The only difference it should make is to flash an RUU compatible with your device and has a usable HBOOT
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] h11g:
Yes I got my device rooted and s-off already.

Format risk... Missing info: remove goldcard after updating...

hello!

Post 1, step 2:

STEP 2

Once you've created your goldcard, simply put your renamed Image file onto the goldcard and then stick this card back into the flyer.Reboot your htc flyer into bootloader mode and let it run the checks, Should everything be smooth (when it asks you to) tap volume up to confirm yes and it'll update. At the end of this you should have now you're newly updated 1.10 Hboot.

once you succesfully updated with the gold card there is a missing point!

REMOVE the goldcard and rename the zip to something else or format it before booting with it in the flyer....

Otherwise.. on next reboot it will go on installing the new ROM and you'll loose all your settings (data is on internal SD thankgod..)

I've just been through this.. please update the guide for others who won't read this late post... I lost all the config... nuuuuuu!

Well thanks for the superb post anyway!

Cheers!

it is possible upgrade to Hboot 1.10 with My Flyer 3G?

Help :´(

Hello everybody,

I have a big problem with my HTC Flyer. I follow the steps, after the first step, my hboot is 1.11.0003. It should be ok for the revolutionary tool. But, I haven´t any access to the Android System (dont ask me why, I started to experiment and dont know what the hell I do^^), it stops by the HTC emblem. So I go into the fastboot, but revolutionary don´t find that, it saids "Wait for device...". Access to CWM are able.

Technical data:

HTC Flyer with O2 Branding

HBoot 1.11.0003

S-On

CID HTC__102 (O2 Germany)

Its with the HTC tool unlocked

Anybody knows a solution for this problem?

Thank your very much :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
check the hboot table and sd card requirements of each rom you want to flash... Do you meet the requirements? Radio etc aswell
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Try using fastboot commander (requires Java JDK) to wipe everything (apart from radio & Hboot!!!!!), then flash this recovery and try to flash a ROM.

Recovery MD5Sum: 4d6d17dcddc632579dcf88af6fbde0e1
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atuladhikari:
Checked everything.

The same ROM'S were working earlier...

Funny thing though. When i installed Cyanogen Mod7 the orignal bootscreen of LeeDroid was shown (like the one of the comp, where it shows all the details come up) was being displayed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
well then yeah, try my advice :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atuladhikari:
I Dont see an option to flash everything???

Do u mean that i use the "MISC" TAB and erase everything except HBOOT N RADIO???

Do i have any other options???
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
no its Ra Desire... use the trackball.. did you check the md5 sums??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atuladhikari:
Used the trackpad... Now flashing LeeDroid.

Didnt check the md5 sums.

Flashed it straight ahead... Would it make a diff???
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Yes and No, checking the MD5Sum makes sure that the file is not corrupted, this is especially important when flashing different HBoots otherwise you can brick your phone.

Check attached for MD5 check utility, just make sure to change the file extension back to .exe because it didn't allow me to upload that file type :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atuladhikari:
In the past 8 days, i must have flashed atleast 15 diff ROM'S... I have been just bloody too much lucky!!! :D

Flashed the rom and vola it works... Could u temme what actually went wrong???

And suggest some good ROM with Sense 3.0. Thats the only one left!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
I'd try Cool Sensation, I used it with a 2GB EXT4 partition (it's 2GB because I can afford to make it that large since I have 16GB SD :P) and it worked pretty well.. by the way after you flash it, the splash screen shows 3 times, then then boot animation runs and stays for aaaaaaaaaaaaaages (about 15-20 mins in my case), so don't worry, it's doing its magic, and then takes another 15 mins or so to stabilise once it starts .

I know this is outdated and all but is Sprint still going to be doing this for the rest of 2011. If so I am going to upgrade my phone TODAY to a Photon, my epic took a tumble and the loud speaker is broken and I dont know if sprint would fix it!
[EVO 4G General] Sunsparc:
If it's just the speaker is blown and no other physical damage inside, a repair location can fix it. It takes like 15 minutes to do.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
This is no longer being done. It ended in July and out of the box upgrade resets are done for as well. Resets are non existent right now unless it's a valid reason such as Sprint error or 30 day returns.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
It just really sucks when I switched to Sprint in November and the yearly upgrade factored in my decision. Sprint should at least honor 1 upgrade. After that I could live with losing it. Oh well. I would be happy if Sprint would just replace my phone with screen separation.

From what I now understand, the CPU bin will play a role of whether your phone can go past 1.5Ghz and remain stable. But some of you guys need to wait because the kernels aren't made for every phone in mind. One may work for yours, the other may work for someone. So let the kernels get out of there beta stages.
